Or they could be absolutely delighted. You cant deal in absolutes here. Just because you have issues, doesn't mean everyone else will or does.

As much as people say they keep seeing the Vets and Show supporters bashing everybody who doesn't like something in this game should really take a step back. i am certainly not speaking for everybody but a lot of us have tried to help anybody with issues with this game find solutions that help with the situation. I think we can find just as many cases of us being shot down and told we are fanboys and obviously this game is wrong and so are you.

So if you want to say someone who buys The Show and a PS4 from reading posts on OS is going to be disappointed, I will gladly stand on the opposite side of that argument.

No doubt, the PS4 version is the very best baseball game I have played in 30 years. Big step up over last year. Love the Diamond Dynasty mode too.

Right on man. I have been saying this about each iteration since 2009. That is the sign of a great product.

It get's better and better and better.

Did they remove some things I want back? Yep. But that happens in sports games. But as long as the core game play keeps improving I am cool with some subtle changes to certain things and I typically learn and adapt to other ways to getting the info I want in-game. Some presentation elements missing now? Yeah...but I got past it already. I have played far too many games to even think about it anymore. The game is too much fun.

But no question for me this was a big leap from MLB 14 on the PS3....huge leap for me on the field and online. I also played 14 on the PS4....same thing a big leap for me this year. It feels and looks next gen now.

Is it a great game? Yes.
Are there shortcomings? Yes.

Been my favorite Show so far and I, like many of you, pick it up every year. I've had such a good time with it I can't bring myself to play the witches or elder scrolls yet and I love those series. Thanks for a great game SCEA

That happens much more with 1st Baseman, even guys like Adrien Gonzales.

I'm in agreement. Having a blast with this game (changed things up a bit and am using all Analog controls and manual fielding). This and NBA 2K15 have made my PS4 purchase in January well worth the investment.

I agree, the fielding in this game can be awful most of the time. You get stuck in animations and their reaction time can be unbelievably bad. I still love this game, but you're right. I got a few people to buy this game and they have already turned it in, due to the defensive flaws in this game.
